The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5344-1 advisory.

It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module, when configured with server-side prepared statement support,     was susceptible to operations that would result in improper memory access. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1249, CVE-2016-1251)

It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module was susceptible to an operation that would result in improper     memory access, introduced through incorrect documentation and code examples. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause DBD::mysql to crash or potentially cause other, unspecified, impact.
(CVE-2017-10788)

It was discovered that the DBD::mysql module processed SSL/TLS settings in a way that did not fully     correlate with the respective documentation for each setting. An attacker could possibly use this to     perform a cleartext-downgrade attack. (CVE-2017-10789)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
